It's coming, and faster than I think many (or most) people realize. As TNC says, it'll start with younger ages and work its way up the ladder. In 20 years, if pro football is still played, it will either be much different or be done with safety methods unavailable to players of all ages today. Otherwise it will be a relic of the past.

The Callahan story is pretty weird, but I go by Hanlon's razor which states "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." I think he was just incompetent, not throwing the Super Bowl.

Seriously? Sounds like someone is starting to get a little full of them self now.

On the one hand, perhaps, on the other, he's not going to get a huge payday for at least another year or two, thanks to the current CBA limiting the amounts rookies get paid (only the likes of Luck, RGIII, and Cam Newton get anywhere close to even a $20 million rookie contract), so I guess he figures he has to make some big money somewhere while waiting to get the big contract.

Did anyone even read the article? He's not trademarking the pose. He's trademarking 'Kaepernicking' as a word/term, which makes sense to me since it's his name and he's entitled to have some protection over how it's used.

No it doesn't. It's utterly silly. And it's not something anyone will say or care about in a few months, it's just a little fad.

I think New Orleans is a great landing spot for Coach Crennel. I hope he wins there too- even though he didn't work out in KC, I really hope he gets the other bookend on a successful career. Mangini also being considered, it sounds like.

Per ESPN, Jeff Saturday is retiring. Anyone see him as a Hall of Famer? Dermontii Dawson had more "All-Pro" seasons and got elected, but I think Saturday was very valuable on one of the most prolific offenses in NFL history. Who knows.
